Chapter 29
“Kweak!”
Raudon let out a scream and collapsed forward.
[Level Up!]
[All stats increased by +1.]
[Bonus Stats +1 awarded.]
As the massive Raudon fell, the Widons’ faces turned pale blue.
“The, the boss has fallen!”
“Uwowowo!”
“Boss…”
With their leader gone, the Widons’ morale instantly hit rock bottom.
Spotting this opportunity, Asel began subjugating the Widons together with the subjugation party members.
“Kweak!”
“Kweeak!”
Without Raudon, the Widons were a piece of cake.
In the end, it took less than 10 minutes for all the Widons to become cold corpses.
“It’s over!”
“Waaaah!”
The subjugation party members raised both arms to the sky and cheered.
“This is insane…”
Asel couldn’t believe the current situation.
The user who had volunteered for the subjugation squad looked weak no matter who saw him.
His level was proof of that.
However, when they were short on numbers, it would have been a waste to refuse his offer.
At least he would be somewhat helpful in hunting Widons, or so he had judged.
But that same person had fought Raudon single-handedly and achieved a glorious victory.
‘Just who the hell is that guy…’
Without any weapons like swords or shields, he had subdued Raudon with just his fists.
The iron armor that Raudon had been wearing had more than one or two dented spots.
Those fists had crushed the armor.
‘This is insane…’
How was that even possible?
‘I’m not dreaming, am I?’
With Asel’s mind, he couldn’t help but doubt whether the current situation was a dream.
* * *
‘It really is overpowered.’
In New World, level is an important factor.
And what allows you to surpass that is grade.
If he hadn’t obtained the Myeongwang Fist Technique first, it might have taken much longer to face Raudon.
Jung Hoon drew his sword.
Now it was time to collect the materials to decode the map.
[Material List]
-Raudon’s Horn x1
-Raudon’s Blood 100ml
-Raudon’s Tongue x1
The required materials were Raudon’s Horn.
For the horn, he just needed to harvest the pair of protruding horns on its forehead.
Jung Hoon stabbed his sword into the forehead and harvested the horn.
After the horn came Raudon’s blood and tongue.
When he cut the tongue, blood spurted out.
He collected over 100ml of that blood in a glass bottle he had prepared in advance, completing the harvest.
[All materials have been collected.]
[Find the NPC to complete the Quest.]
Done!
Jung Hoon stood up from his spot.
Although Raudon was Lv.60, since it was a monster needed for the scenario, it didn’t drop anything special.
However, just having collected the materials was extremely satisfying.
Now he could take the decoded map and go find it.
“…Thank you sincerely for dealing with that troublemaker.”
Asel approached and bowed his waist.
Jung Hoon’s contribution in this subjugation could be considered over 90%.
While hunting Widons wasn’t difficult, Raudon was a different story.
That monster’s monstrous strength and defense had made the subjugation squad struggle.
Jung Hoon had brought down that Raudon single-handedly.
To Asel and the subjugation party members, Jung Hoon was their benefactor.
“It’s fine. I got what I needed too.”
“I see.”
Asel had seen Jung Hoon harvest Raudon’s horn, tongue, and blood.
He was curious about what those things would be used for, but he didn’t bother asking.
“Then I’ll be going now.”
“…That’s unfortunate.”
“Come visit us anytime when you’re in the village. We’ll let you stay at our inn for free.”
“If you come to our restaurant, we’ll provide you with a free dinner!”
Jung Hoon, who had returned to the village, immediately parted ways with the subjugation party members.
The subjugation party members were disappointed that they couldn’t raise a toast together, but they couldn’t forcibly detain him when he said he was busy.
“Yes.”
Jung Hoon arrived at the mansion where the vagrants stayed and looked for Yorden.
An exclamation mark was floating above his head.
[Quest completed.]
[You can proceed with the next Quest.]
“Oh, you brought it.”
Yorden’s eyes lit up as he took the materials Jung Hoon offered.
Then he pulled out a jar from the corner and put all the materials into it.
Crackle. Sizzle.
Unpleasant sounds came from inside the jar, then soon acrid smoke began rising with the sound of fireworks exploding.
“Haha, this is something I’ve researched my entire life.”
I know.
That’s the Universal Jar.
That jar creates the appropriate potion when materials are put in according to the recipe.
The potion created this time is the Complete Restoration Potion for Level 100 and Below.
Yorden spread out the map and poured the potion contained in the jar onto it.
Trickle.
The purple liquid flowed along the map and dripped down under the desk.
Nevertheless, Yorden didn’t mind and poured all the liquid onto the map.
Then changes appeared on the map.
The picture on the map, which was so old it couldn’t even be read properly, began to gradually become clear.
[You have successfully restored the Old Map.]
‘It worked.’
The corners of Jung Hoon’s mouth rose.
“Wait, this is?!”
And Yorden’s eyes widened greatly as he checked the map.
A new question mark was floating above his head as he couldn’t take his eyes off the map with a shocked expression.
[Epic Quest: Treasure of the Map]
-Restriction: User who restored the Old Map
-Reward: ?
-Description: You have succeeded in restoring an old and worn map. Go to the place the map indicates and obtain the treasure.
Yorden rolled up the map and handed it over.
“Thank you.”
When Jung Hoon showed signs of leaving, Yorden urgently stopped him.
“Wait!”
“Hmm? What’s wrong?”
“Could I perhaps follow you to the place that map indicates?”
“Of course.”
It’s a request I have no choice but to accept.
The reason is that Yorden needs to be there to obtain the unique reward.
‘This is also why the unique reward went to the user who discovered it first.’
Yorden, who discovered the treasure, no longer moves together with users.
So from then on, he only plays the role of interpreting old maps.
It was the same when Jung Hoon performed the Quest.
But now that history will change.
‘This time I’m taking it too.’
Lee Hwa Rang, who took the Myeongwang Fist Technique before the regression.
Ironically, the reward that should have been taken this time was also scheduled to become Lee Hwa Rang’s.
* * *
Earth Korea Management Team.
“The NPC is following him out…?”
“That map was decodable?”
Really, the more they watched, the more it was a series of surprises.
The Old Map was considered an item for collection purposes only.
Because there was no use for it.
But the user who received that map entered some mansion and received a new Quest.
Who would have thought there was an NPC giving quests there….
What was surprising was that the user not only perfectly subjugated Raudon but also perfectly decoded the map.
“Where does that map point to?”
“Zoom in on the map.”
The employee greatly enlarged the map that the NPC had decoded.
The map was pointing to a mine located a short distance from Edenhark.
“A mine?”
“Isn’t there nothing in that mine?”
It was just a mine that existed in the village.
Since no NPC gave any quests related to the mine, it was a mine that no one visited.
In reality, that mine was so devoid of anything valuable that the name “mine” seemed meaningless.
In fact, hiring people would cost more in labor than any profit.
As a result, even the lord of the territory didn’t bother to look at the mine.
The map was pointing to such a mine.
“This seems like there might be something there?”
The employees caught the scent.
At the same time, they felt anticipation.
What would surprise them this time?
* * *
Edenhark Mine.
In fact, it was called a mine, but it was actually a completely unmanaged mountain with only traces of excavation from long ago.
Long ago, several valuable ores were discovered, earning it the name “mine,” but currently the veins had dried up, making it a forgotten mine where digging hard would yield nothing.
“Hmm, why was the map pointing here?”
Yorden tilted his head in confusion.
‘Why else? Because real treasure is hidden here.’
Normally one would search inside the mine, but Jung Hoon stopped in a forest a little away from the mine.
“How about we search here?”
“Here, you mean?”
“Yes.”
Bringing Yorden didn’t guarantee getting a unique reward.
At the time, Lee Hwa Rang said he spent almost five days searching for treasure with Yorden.
It was because he spent about three days at the mine.
Jung Hoon wanted to reduce such wasted time.
That meant starting the search from this place where the treasure was buried.
‘The unique reward I found was buried in a slightly different place. I was able to discover it thanks to finding that location.’
These were the words Lee Hwa Rang had left before the regression.
Since the place he mentioned was right here, it was certain.
“Hmm, I understand.”
With those words, Yorden took out his detector.
That detector was a tool that reacted when treasure was buried nearby.
Unfortunately, it only detected treasure within 2 meters, so except for close range, it wasn’t a very useful item.
However, when Yorden activated the detector and brought it to the ground, the detector’s radar began to blink.
“Did we find it?”
“It seems so?! Wait a moment!”
“Yes.”
Yorden searched every corner with an extremely excited expression.
“Right here!”
The place where he stopped was in front of a tree that had rotted and decayed, leaving only the stump.
The circumference of the stump was so wide that Jung Hoon couldn’t cover it even with both arms stretched out to either side.
Thinking of what the tree must have been like when it was intact, he couldn’t even imagine how large it had been.
Anyway, it was here.
Jung Hoon took out a shovel from his inventory.
“Please step aside.”
“I’ll help with the digging too.”
“Yes.”
Jung Hoon and Yorden diligently dug the ground.
When they had dug deep enough for a person to fit inside with room to spare,
The buried item slowly revealed itself.
“This is…?”
Yorden’s brow furrowed as he saw the treasure.
What he saw was a bow.
Moreover, it was a very old bow whose color had faded, with a string that had long since snapped, making it completely unusable.
It looked like the bow frame would break immediately if touched even slightly hard.
===
[Broken Unknown Bow]
-Type: Bow
-Grade: Rare
-Attack Power: 0
-Critical Rate: 0%
-Remaining Durability: 0%
-Special Ability (1): Unusable
-Special Ability (2): Unusable
===
Jung Hoon carefully lifted the bow.
“…It’s a treasure that has lost its value. We came up empty.”
Yorden clicked his tongue.
He had been confident that quite a precious treasure would be hidden there, but it was just a bow that had been broken for ages.
However, Jung Hoon’s expression was different.
Because this was exactly the item he needed to obtain this time.
“Thank you for following me.”
“Huh? What, are you really satisfied with that?”
“Yes.”
When Jung Hoon nodded, an exclamation mark appeared above Yorden’s head.
[You have completed an Epic Quest.]
[[Title] You have obtained Novice Treasure Hunter.]
“…Like me, you also have quite the qualities of a treasure hunter. Seeing you find treasure and rejoice like that reminds me of my old self.”
Yorden had once worked as a treasure hunter.
Later, he became captivated by the joy that interpretation brought and switched to being an interpreter.
[Novice Treasure Hunter]
-Type: Title
-Grade: Rare
-Identifies the value of treasures. (Rare and below)
-‘Passive: Lower Treasure Detection’ available
Jung Hoon smiled with satisfaction.
This title could be obtained from Yorden and gave the ability to see through the value of treasures.
It was likewise an evolvable title, and one that needed to be evolved in preparation for the future.
“I will use it gratefully.”
“Good. Then I’ll take a closer look at that mine over there before heading back.”
“Understood.”
The location of the treasure indicated by the map was inside that mine.
Having caught the scent, Yorden took his detector and entered the mine.
‘He’ll come out soon.’
Yorden would discover a new passage where treasure was hidden at the far end of the mine.
After that, many users would obtain that treasure through quests.
Of course, excluding the bow that Jung Hoon was holding.
Now it was time to restore this bow.
